Retreat
The Zen Commando Madre Tierra Ayahuasca Retreat offers a profound journey of seeking, healing, and recovery within the tranquil jungle of Camp Zen Commando in Costa Rica. This five-day immersive experience is designed to help you dive deep into your inner self to heal past wounds, release trauma, and gain clarity. Through two sacred ayahuasca ceremonies led by experienced facilitators, you are offered a safe, secure space to explore your shadow self and uncover your true identity.
Each day is intentionally designed to rebalance, cleanse, and help you learn about yourself and your connection to the world. You’ll engage in daily practices such as meditation, breathwork, yoga, and mindful nature hikes, allowing you to disconnect from the outside world and immerse yourself fully in the surrounding beauty. Visits to stunning waterfalls and activities that connect you to the local environment deepen your understanding of the relationship between yourself, others, and Nature. While this journey can be challenging, we aim to provide you with the tools, information, and supportive environment necessary for a safe and enlightening experience. Madre Tierra is more than a retreat—it's a path to rediscovering harmony within yourself and the world around you.

I served in U.S. special operations for over 20 years, five of those in direct line of combat. After military service, I spent time in the corporate and private trenches of Silicon Valley, California, where I learned how to operate in a new, technology-driven battlefield. Now, based in the serene jungles of Costa Rica, I guide transformative and life-changing experiences at Camp Zen Commando, a total mind-body adventure camp.
